Let α be the dissociation of the weak base
BOH
<---> B + + OH-
initial conc. c 0 0
change -cα +cα +cα
Equb. conc. c(1-α) cα cα
Dissociation constant, Kb = (cα x cα) / ( c(1-α)
= c α2 / (1-α)
In the case of weak bases α is very small so 1-α is taken as 1
So Kb = cα2
==> α = √ ( Kb / c )
Given Kb = 1.8x10-9
c = concentration = 0.0053 M
Plug the values we get α = 5.83x10-4
So the concentration of [OH-] = cα
= 0.0053 x5.83x10-4
=3.09 x 10-6 M
pOH = - log [OH-]
= - log (3.09 x10-6)
= 5.5
So pH = 14 - pOH
= 14 - 5.5
= 8.5
